    This is a fantastic guitar for the money. Looks great, holds tuning really well and amazingly, at this price, it's the first guitar in a long while that I haven't felt the need to get professionally fret dressed. It's playability and intonation up and down the neck is fantastic. Great upper fret access too, I can get right up to the 22nd fret and bend with ease. Pick-ups aren't too bad either, definitely not metal ones though, but could suit anything up to hard rock I'd say.

    The only criticism I'd have is that it is really neck heavy, so if you've got a nylon strap it's gonna keep slipping. It's a problem that is easily sorted with a suede strap though.

    All in all, fantastic guitar for the price!
